Journalist Looking to Get Acquainted with the Vaping Community

[nicetucu]

Catfish anyone? lol

 

[Spazmelda]

I don't think he's coming back. Should we start talking about food? Or Bobo? Where has Bobo been lately?

 

[AthensGa]

Anyone else feel like Simon is a tease? He comes in all wanting to be friends and then just abandons us. I have abandonment issues, sue me. LOL

"Don't get me wrong" but seems it's a copy/ paste from another Forum 3 weeks ago and you really haven't been all that active in that forum since posting the above. I'm friends with a number of Journalists and they've always been transparent and completely upfront when dealing with sources/ people/ research unless special circumstances warrant secrecy. Journalism is give and take...hopefully you'll be able to give a little and be as open as other researchers visiting this Forum have been.

Teehee, maybe he's waiting to see if I show up & read him the riot act here too. but, hey, I left tons of links for him to begin researching... Speaking of follow up, I should go see if he replied! :face palm:

CastorSimon, a quote from your book, Fits us Vapers to a Tee. We've been fighting since 2009 for the right to have a safer alternative to smoking. They ain't seen nuttin yet honey. .
"“Passion has little to do with euphoria and everything to do with patience. It is not about feeling good. It is about endurance. Like patience, passion comes from the same Latin root: pati. It does not mean to flow with exuberance. It means to suffer.” ― Mark Z. Danielewski, House of Leaves

..........
He said something about writing a "paper".
I left him/her a note to wake up & asked how the research is fairing.

I have a creepy feeling that simon is looking over my shoulder as I write this. I am just going to pull the covers up over my head.

 

[yzer]

I guess he flew Across the River and into the Trees.

Last caution folks. Keep it civil and in the spirit of what ECF is about.

 

[evan le'garde]

Maybe he's using more than one computer and is asking questions in various threads and sub forums using a different ID. Isn't that more like the kind of behaviour you expect from a reporter !!!.

 

[Plumes.91]

Something tells me the Provarinatti is lurking this thread waiting for an IN... gulp..

 

[mkbilbo]

correct, cuz it's spelled ya'll!!!

What??? It's a contraction of "you all" so it's "y'all" y'all!

Kids these days!

 

[DC2]

Well, I guess that was fun...

 

[mkbilbo]

Did English ever have a formal version of "you"? - English Language & Usage Stack Exchange[/url]

No.

Next question?



(Okay, okay, after the Norman Conquest, the plural was treated as "formal" and the singular became not just an informal but actually derogatory so, yes. But it wasn't actually English what did it. It was French. The .......s.)

House of Leaves was an amazing book... a real mind trip. I never thought a novel could be written like that. Highly recommended. In conclusion: vaping = GOOD (meaning better for you than cigs), anti-vapers = IGNORANT (meaning they get all their news from FOX news) and all the local politicians trying to gain some attention from the so-called "ecig debate" = BAD.

 

[smacuser]

I look forward to spending time here!

Hurry back now, ya hear!

For a journalist, you might want to work on your gramma.

Hey, now - let's watch the personal stuff. You can't say anything about his gramma unless he says something about your momma.

Welcome to ECF. Oh, one post ... never mind. TL;DR for one post. In the poker world this would appear to be the time to say, "nh gg." [ (nice hand good game) In other words, I don't think he's coming back.]

Side point:
Y'all is the correct spelling. Apostrophes fill in for missing letters in a contraction. In this case, "you all" becomes "y'all"

Technically the plural form of "you" is "ye."

Just my

Simon doesn't seem to be too engaged. Poor journalism.

I see that....
